We are excited to introduce an innovative Global Flavors Coffee Machine that brings coffee flavors from around the world to customers in a fun and engaging way. This coffee machine is equipped with 24 unique coffee pods, each marked with a number from 1 to 24, representing a different coffee flavor. With each turn, customers can experience the joy of discovering a new, delightful coffee flavor.



We have eliminated the complicated coin-operated system of traditional capsule machines and replaced it with a simpler, quick-turn knob. The sleek surface of the machine features a distinctive knob design, making its purpose immediately clear and inviting customers to turn the knob without worrying about coins or additional steps. This design is also more child-friendly.



The exterior design of this coffee machine is inspired by astronaut visors. A large, curved transparent window showcases the coffee pods inside, and a spaceship hatch design concept has been integrated into the lower right corner, where each dropped coffee pod must be retrieved by opening the hatch. The front design is minimalist, featuring only the logo and knob, avoiding excessive decorations and allowing customers to quickly understand and operate the machine.



To support environmental sustainability, we have launched a coffee pod recycling program. Customers can return empty pods when purchasing new ones and receive gifts or discounts on new products in return. The recycled pods will be repurposed. Additionally, we are testing the use of spent coffee grounds to replace the material of the entire product, creating a comprehensive environmental cycle and contributing to global sustainability efforts.



This coffee machine is like a spaceship traveling through the coffee universe, bringing back coffee flavors from different planets. Its sleek, minimalist design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers a canvas for customers and children to create their own designs. We believe this coffee machine will not only provide customers with a novel coffee experience but also lead a new trend in the coffee world and promote environmental sustainability.
